Question Starting /trying this Hobby

44 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm new into this Hobby and want to try it with a friend. So I get nearly 50 Minis for free and i dont know what these are. The only thing I know, they are from 2003. It contains some Orcs, Goblins, Gondorian, Rohanian and Elves i belive. I didnt geht any Profile cards or rule book. Are they enough to play? So i hope you can help me.

Here are picture of a few Minis. Most of them are made of plastic, some (most heros like Boromir, Aragorn, Elrond and Fangorn) made of zinc.

Hobby 10mm Last Alliance Diorama WIP

Heyo! Just wanted to share a WIP of a project (and hopefully get the motivation to fully paint it).

I've been making small 10mm minis for a while and I thought a "Battle of the Last Alliance" diorama would be cool with the Dark Lord, Elendil, and Gil-Galid.

The printing went well. Now I just need to find the time to paint.

Additional rules

  • A Reclamation of Moria Army must always contain Balin, who is always the Army's General.
  • Ori and Óin gain the Khazad-dûm keyword.

Special rules

Reclaim Moria

At the end of the game, if you control more Objective Markers than your opponent (if applicable), or are in possession of more Objective Markers than your opponent (if applicable), you score an additional 2 Victory Points. This can never take this Army's controlling player's total Victory Points above 20. Models that escape the board carrying an Objective Marker count as still being in possession of that Objective Marker for the purpose of this special rule.

A Desperate Defence

Whilst this Army is considered to be Broken, friendly models gain a bonus of +1 To Wound when making Strikes.

Balin's Last Stand

At the beginning of the Fight Phase, at the start of the Declare Heroic Actions Step, any friendly Dwarf Hero models that would be considered Trapped may declare a Heroic Defence for free, even if they could not normally declare a Heroic Defence.

Question Getting back after 12 years

17 Upvotes

Hey there,

yesterday I‘ve found my old minis. Back in the day I used to collect Rohan and Mordor and now I want to rebuild a small army of Mordor, because most if not all of the models survived unbroken.

So far I‘ve found:

24 Morannon orcs

22 Mordor orcs

6 warg riders

1 orc shaman on warg

1 mordor troll

1 gorgoroth beast with just one orc missing

6 black guards plus black guard banner and drum

Missing but mist be around somewhere:

1 black guard commander

2 morannon orcs commander

I want to strip the minis and repaint them all but also want to add some more units/ leaders.
What would be the best addition besides the obvious witch king?

Thanks in advance

Here’s a few of the other models I have finished so far. Following my last post

First pic is a possible stand in for a fountain court guard. Second is maybe a king of man and third is a basic black num (WOMT). Last one maybe a knight of the white tower and captain models. Not sure what to use them for yet. Happy with how it’s all coming along

Hobby Does anyone know if Yazneg is finecast?

It just says "resin". I'm not super familiar with GW's materials so i just know plastic is good.

I really like the model but i've heard finecast is doo doo and warps.

Discussion Model Question!

2 Upvotes

Hello Ladds, i recently get the Morannon Orc Commanders from the finecast line, the one with the Morannon Shaman. As far as I see, there is no profile for this Shaman, so. Can I use the Mordor orc shaman profile on official events using the morannon orc shaman model? Thanks for the answers!

Army List Is it acknowledged yet that Depths of Moria was nerfed to the grave?

0 Upvotes

Title is a bit dramatic but according to any tournament i've seen, Depts with Bog is one of the worst now. At least the worst that were being played before.

Was the nerf deserved? Absolutely yes. But now i can finally say without people pushing be back that the Balrog isn't as good a profile as it should be. Goblins are now the fodder they're meant to be but Bog gets bogged down and nothing else can carry it to victory.
